Relevant Life Lyrics, pt. 2

"My heart was always made to be still
To wait because you promised you’d save it"

- Honest Affection, KyeKye

 

I never knew that I was so harsh
With things I thought I wasn’t afraid of
I never knew that I was so scared
To change because of honest affection

Longing
Yearning
Hoping
Looking
Over your words
Stuck on your heart

A part of me just wanted to know
But the other part was always so wasted
My heart was always made to be still
To wait because you promised you’d save it

I never knew I was in a place
Hiding to avoid any signals
I close my eyes and picture your face
And see a look I never envisioned.

Sex Trafficking, Prostitution and Pornography

So, to those of you who know me it will come as no surprise to know that I am passionate about combating human trafficking, specifically sex trafficking. There are many reasons why I am passionate about this area, and at some point I will post more about that (the dignity and value of human life, women's rights, & equality - just to name a few brief reasons). You can also expect more posts from me about this issue. However, I came across this video the other day (via a friend) and I think it is definitely worth sharing. Though there are a lot of misconceptions about sex trafficking, prostitution and pornography, I think this video gives a great overview of how they are all related, and does so from an honest, real and fresh perspective. I applaud Ran Gavrieli for talking about his personal and educated decision to stop watching porn; below is his TED talk. I hope more men will be willing to come to some of the decisions he has made, and also willing to talk about it.

Also, here is another link that describes an overview human trafficking via the online world.
